<h3>Directory iterator</h3>

<p>The following example iterates over a directory and recursively lists the
attributes for each file inside it.</p>

<pre class="example">
require"lfs"

function attrdir (path)
    for file in lfs.dir(path) do
        if file ~= "." and file ~= ".." then
            local f = path..'/'..file
            print ("\t "..f)
            local attr = lfs.attributes (f)
            assert (type(attr) == "table")
            if attr.mode == "directory" then
                attrdir (f)
            else
                for name, value in pairs(attr) do
                    print (name, value)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end
